Ang mahabang biyahe sa Ilocos Sur at Ilocos Norte

Noong April 18, 2019, sa kalagitnaan ng tag-init, nagsimula ang aming pamilya ng masayang paglalakbay patungo sa Ilocos Norte. Isang planong inorganisa ng mga kapatid ni Nanay, ito ay isang pagkakataon para masaksihan ang ganda ng mga tanawin at maranasan ang kultura ng Ilocos.

Sa malapit na pagdating namin sa Ilocos Sur, nagpasya kaming huminto saglit para kumuha ng mga litrato at bumisita sa Baluarte Wild Animal Gallery. Subalit, nadismaya ako sa napabayaan na kalagayan ng lugar. Sa kabila ng kaunting hayop at kulang sa pagpapalakad.

Patuloy pa rin kaming naglakbay patungo sa Vigan City. Kahit na mainit ang panahon, hindi ko nai-enjoy ang pagbisita sa mga lumang bahay. Ngunit, nakatagpo kami ng mga kakaibang produkto ng mga taga-Ilocos Sur kagaya ng Bagnet, longganisa, at kalamay na tunay na nakatatak sa alaala.Pagdating ng gabi, nagpatuloy kami sa aming biyahe patungo sa Ilocos Norte.

Sa Laoag City, nagpasya kaming huminto saglit para magpahinga at bisitahin ang kamag-anak ng aking tito. Sa paggising kinabukasan, agad kaming nagtuloy sa Ilocos Norte. Nararamdaman ko na malapit na kami sa aming mga destinasyon dahil sa mga windmills na sumasalubong sa amin malapit sa dagat.

Ang Kapurpurawan Rock Formation ang unang lugar na aming pinuntahan, kung saan namangha ako sa ganda ng mga bato na nabuo dahil sa lakas ng alon ng tubig. Matapos nito,

Bumisita kami sa Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, isang historikal na lugar na patuloy na nagbibigay liwanag sa karagatan mula noong 1892. Ako ay natuwa dahil mura lamang ang entrance fee na nagkahalaga ng ₱40.00 at nasulit ko naman ang paglilibot sa Loob ng Lighthouse ngunit Hindi ko na naakyat ang lighthouse dahil ito ay pinagbabawal ng mga Bantay doon

Sa Arinaya Whitebeach Resort, nagpahinga kami at nagsaya kasama ang aming mga pinsan sa ilalim ng maliwanag na araw. Ngunit, dahil sa mahal ng mga tulugan, pinili naming matulog na lamang sa aming sasakyan.

Sa huling araw ng aming paglalakbay, bumisita kami sa Bangui Windmills, kung saan hindi mapapantayan ang ganda ng tanawin. Kasabay ng aming pag-alis, bumili kami ng mga souvenirs bilang alaala ng aming pagbisita sa Ilocos.Sa pag-uwi, nagpatuloy kami sa aming biyahe at dumaan sa Laoag City at Vigan City para magpahinga at magdagdag ng mga pasalubong.

Sa kabuuan, bagaman naging mapanglaw at mainit ang ilang bahagi ng aming paglalakbay, ang mga karanasan at alaala ay hindi malilimutan. Ang paglalakbay sa Ilocos Norte ay isang pagkakataon upang masilayan ang ganda ng Pilipinas at maranasan ang kultura ng mga taga-roon.

Byahe Patungong Norte

Sa paglalakbay sa magandang lalawigan ng Norte, nagsisimula ang isang karanasan na puno ng kagandahan at kasaysayan. Ang bawat lugar ay may kwento na naghihintay na masaksihan at masaliksik. Sa pagtahak sa mga daan ng Norte, hindi lamang ang mga tanawin at pasyalan ang makikita, kundi pati na rin ang yaman ng kultura at tradisyon ng mga taga-roon.

Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo

Matapos ang halos labindalawang oras na byahe ay nakarating na rin kami sa Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo sa bayan ng Vigan. Habang kami ay nasa loob na napagpasyahan ng aking pamilya na sumakay ng mini jeep upang maikot namin ng buo ang Baluarte. Sa aming paglalakbay sa loob nakita namin ang mga kakaibang uri ng mga hayop na bihirang makita sa ibang lugar. Bawat hayop na makikita ay may deskripsyon na kung saan ito galing na bansa at kung ano ang mga sarili nitong kakayahan. Sa pag-alis naman namin ng Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo, may dala kaming mga bagong kaalaman at pagpapahalaga sa kalikasan at sa mga hayop.

Ilocos Norte

Kinabukasan, matapos ang aming pagpapahinga sa Vigan kami naman ay nagbyahe ng halos tatlong oras patungon Ilocos Norte. Sa Ilocos Norte ay naghanda ang pamilya namin ng isang simpleng reunion sa mga kamag-anak namin doon. Ito ay isang karanasan na hindi namin malilimutan at aming dadalhin sa aming mga puso hanggang sa aming paglalakbay sa iba pang mga lugar.

Patapat Bridge

Sa aming paglalakbay nararamdaman namin ang hangin na papalakas habang tumatagal, siguro ay dahil halos nasa dulo na kami ng Pilipinas. Gayon pa man, isa sa mga kahanga-hangang pasyalan na aming nadatnan ay ang Patapat Bridge. Mula sa taas ng tulay, aming nasaksihan ang kagandahan ng dagat na naglalaho sa kalawakan. Ang paglalakbay sa Patapat Bridge ay hindi lamang isang paglilibot, kundi isang pagtatawid patungo sa mga panibagong posibilidad at pag-asa.

Bangui Windmills

Matapos pagmasdan ang karagatan, kami ay bumalik na sa Bangui upang makapaglakad-lakad sa tabi ng dagat. Makikita rin dito ang mga naglalakihang windmills na umaalon sa ritmo ng hangin. Isa ring kakaibang pangyayari ang aming nasaksihan—ang paglitaw ng isang makulay na bahaghari sa kalangitan.

Kapurpurawan Rock Formation

Habang kami naman ay pauwi na, kami ay napadaan sa Kapurpurawan Rock Formation. Ang paglalakad sa paligid ng Kapurpurawan ay parang paglalakbay sa ibang mundo. Ang Kapurpurawan Rock Formation ay isang patunay ng ganda at kapangyarihan ng likas na yaman.

Calle Crisologo

Noong kami ay nakauwi na sa aming tinutuluyan sa bayan ng Vigan, kami ay nagpunta sa Calle Crisologo. Dito ay sumakay kami ng kalesa upang mas maramdaman namin ang vibe ng lugar na makalumang panahon. Dahil nga ito na ang huli naming destinasyon hindi na rin namin piinalagpas ang Vigan Empanada na sikat at binabalik balikan sa Vigan. Totoo nga namang babalik balikan mo ito dahil sa kakaibang lasa nito na doon mo lamang matitikman.

Sa huli, ang aming paglalakbay sa Ilocos Norte ay hindi lamang isang paglilibot, kundi isang paglalakad ng pag-asa, pagmamahal, at pagpapahalaga sa ganda ng mundo. Ang mga alaala na aming dala-dala ay hindi lamang mga kuwento na aming isasalaysay, kundi mga aral at inspirasyon na aming ipamamahagi sa bawat hakbang ng aming buhay. Sa bawat paglalakad, kami ay magpapatuloy na magtanim ng mga alaala at mag-abot ng kamay sa hinaharap, puno ng pag-asa at pangarap.

Burgos Wind Farm and Kapurpurawan Rock Formation: A Seamless Synergy of Nature and Technology

Burgos Wind Farm and Kapurpurawan Rock Formation: A Seamless Synergy of Nature and Technology

The Industrial and Technological Revolutions that started in the early 1800s paved the way for our modern way of living. Machines, electricity, motorized vehicles, and automated production processes replaced laborious and inefficient human-powered methods. However, to obtain the means to power humanity’s machinery, we exploited and harmed Mother Nature. It seemed that technology and nature will…

[infinitepiphanies]

I never imagined Ilocos to be our first family road trip. Firstly because it was a long and destination-full travel and secondly, because my son was just 4 months old at that time and it seemed impossible to do the trip with all the infant “paraphernalia” we have. But still being the go-getter me, I made sure our itinerary was fool-proof and fortunately, our 3-day trip went everything to plan. So here is our Ilocos trip in chronological order.

  Blue Lagoon

We spent most of our 1st day on the road as we opted to go to the furthest north as our first stop – the famous Blue Lagoon in Pagudpud. We stayed in Hannah’s Beach Resort for breakfast and took a quick walk on the shore. It was my son’s first time on the beach so it was such a delightful treat seeing his tiny feet on the sand.

Along the way were some steep hills which were also quite a scenery. We were tempted to go down the rocks but had to leave soon to catch up with the rest of our itinerary for the day.

Bangui Windmills

The famous Wind Farm of Bangui, Ilocos Norte is indeed a top highlight when travelling to Ilocos. This nine-kilometre stretch of wind turbines supplies 40% of Ilocos Norte’s electricity and is a very good model for implementing sustainable energy country-wide. The strong breeze coupled with the crashing waves of the West Philippine sea had both our hair and spirits fly.

  Kapurpurawan Rock Formation

This famous destination along the coasts of Burgos is yet another nature’s masterpiece formed by the natural forces of the ocean. Kapurpurawan came from the Ilocano word “puraw” which means white.

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse

One of the many things Ilocos is popular for is being a haven of Philippine cultural heritage. Cape Borjeador was our first blast from the past during our tour. Built in the 1890’s, this historical landmark is still functional and guides ships away from the rocky coasts of the north.

  Sinking Bell Tower

Laoag’s Cathedral is famous for its bell tower that sinks at a rate of one inch per year due to its sturdy structure built on a sandy foundation.

Malacañang of the North

It is pretty much well known that the infamous dictator and former President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, was born and bred in Ilocos Norte. So it was not a surprise that many of the Marcoses’ memorabilia are found in the province. One of which is the former leader’s family residence during his seat as Chief Executive. Setting aside my personal political thoughts on the Marcoses, the visit on this Presidential Museum was curiosity-satisfying and I cannot help but note of how the locals honor them.

  Paoay Sand Dunes

Well, if we were single and as wild and free as before, we would definitely rent a 4×4 jeepney and ride our lives away the Sand Dunes of Paoay. But since we have a sleeping infant left back at the car, we just chose a simple stroll and pica sesh notwithstanding the windy atmosphere bringing sands on our faces.

  Paoay Church

It is common for a Filipino traveler all over the world to include churches in their itineraries. That’s why we made sure we won’t miss this three-decade old UNESCO World Heritage Site in Paoay.

  Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo

We concentrated our final day around Ilocos Sur’s center, Vigan. We started in Baluarte, a 100-hectare property of famous Ilocano politician Chavit Singson, in our attempt to stimulate our son’s interest with animals in its famed Zoo and Safari Gallery. We also side-tripped to the mansion also situated in the same area.

    Pagburnayan Jar Factory

This is our first time together in a jar factory and we were quite amazed with pottery. Though we did not get a chance to try it out (soiling out our hands are not the best option when you have a infant to carry), we definitely look forward to someday experience this craft.

  The Hidden Garden of Vigan

This not really hidden restaurant of Vigan was surely the city’s gem. Food was good and a sure place to experience the local delicacies of Ilocos such as the Vigan empanada, Poqui-poqui and Warek-warek.

    Calle Crisologo

The most known tourist spot in Vigan is a street that will take you back to the Spanish era. This is now a busy commercial street full of antique and souveneir shops,  but its cobblestones and ancestral houses are well-preserved which is definitely why see-goers won’t dare skip to visit.

      Vigan Cathedral 

  Bantay Church and Bell Tower

Our last stop for the Ilocos Sur trip is 2 of the oldest structures in the province. It is a longstanding watchtower circa 1591 that was converted into a church Bell tower in 1857.

To cap this post, here are some of our family random road trip snaps. Surely, this is indeed a trip to remember that we will be delighted to show our son when he grows up.

    Family Road Trip to Ilocos I never imagined Ilocos to be our first family road trip. Firstly because it was a long and destination-full travel and secondly, because my son was just 4 months old at that time and it seemed impossible to do the trip with all the infant "paraphernalia" we have.

Tracing The Roots: A journey to the Ancestral Hometown

Long before when SCTEx (Subic, Clark, Tarlac Expressway) and TPLEx (Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union Expressway) hasn’t constructed, the hours spent going to Ilocos Norte can take you up to 12+ hours. Ohh, not to mention, there’s only few bus companies that reach Ilocos Norte – most of the time, up to Laoag only.

Luckily, SCTEx and TPLEx were constructed and the tourism of the Northern provinces,…
